Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Happy Halloween!
Halloween is my favorite holiday. Seriously. I haven’t done anything to celebrate in years, mostly because I just can’t get into the groove of it here in Florida - it’s always far too hot. In order to celebrate Halloween in all its glory, there needs to be a crisp in the air. Which very [...]
Pushing Daisies
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007I know I missed last week’s episode - I did watch it and I did enjoy it, but my brain is everywhere except trying to decipher the intricacies of a TV show.
So, depending on how things go I may or may not continue with my thoughts on the episodes until after this particular gig is [...]
As November Approaches…
Monday, October 29th, 2007and I think about having to blog every day, I’m wondering if I’m going to be able to pull it off. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if I wasn’t working crazy hours or if I could access my blog from work, but right now I’m wondering if I’m going to be able [...]
Asinine is as Asinine Does
Sunday, October 28th, 2007Okay - so I know that’s note really how the saying goes, but “Stupid is as Stupid Does” doesn’t even begin to cover it.
I’m sure all of us at some point have heard of Westboro Baptist Church and the idiotic Fred Phelps who, along with his congregation, have taken to picketing funerals of fallen service [...]
A Good Thing
Saturday, October 27th, 2007While being tired and cranky has steered me toward doing little except bitching, I’ve decided that today’s blog should be about something good.
My brother forwarded me a link to Kiva a while ago, and I’ve done a cursory once through. It seems like a good idea, these micro-loans. (I think that’s what they’re [...]
Straight Talkin’
Friday, October 26th, 2007Anyone who knows me knows that I am about as honest as they come - sometimes brutally so. I am simply not hardwired to be deceptive in any way. It tends to get me in trouble much of the time.
But on the flip side, I don’t pick up on hints too well. [...]
And So It Begins Anew
Thursday, October 25th, 2007As mentioned in my previous post about the revelation that Dumbledore is gay, the ridiculousness is starting again, and not only in regards to homosexuality.
Here’s a story about a Catholic Priest in Massachusetts who has removed the Harry Potter books from the shelves of a parochial school because “they are spiritually dangerous for children and [...]
What’s My Name?
Wednesday, October 24th, 2007Sheesh!
You know, I really don’t mind working insane hours for the short-term, but I sure can’t imagine working these hours every day of the year. Since I took off Monday a week ago, this will be my 9th straight day without a day off. Thankfully I’ll get back to my regular schedule when Friday rolls [...]
I Have (Apparently) Arrived!
Monday, October 22nd, 2007I’m going to make this quick because I just walked in the door from work and I’m exhausted, but I have to tell you a link to my post about *gasp* (again!) Dumbledore being outed by J.K. Rowling was listed on a Christian site as fodder for those who (imho) need to get their head [...]
Tired and Cranky and Weepy, Oh, My!
Sunday, October 21st, 2007There comes a point for me when sleep deprivation leads to the inevitable exhaustion, bitchiness and the constant urge to burst into tear for absolutely no reason.
I have hit that point. The exhaustion I can handle, but I got sick last weekend and have been fighting icky sickness (by living off as much Airborne as [...]
